Awards show speeches come in all different shapes and sizes.

Whether you're presenting one or receiving one, it's the perfect platform to deliver a message. To say something you really want to say.

Well, on Sunday at the Tony Awards, Robert De Niro clearly had something he badly wanted to get off his chest.

The problem was, nobody watching in the US got to hear it.

Yep — a drag on Trump was exactly what it was. Here's the uncensored clip that went out in Australia:

"I'm gonna say one thing: Fuck Trump," says DeNiro in the clip above. "It's no longer 'down with Trump', it's fuck Trump."

Well, you can't put it any clearer than that.
